Since David Letterman gets to have his “top-10” lists, I figured I could have my own top 10 lists as well. So, in the spirit of fairness:
Top 10 reasons you DO NOT need to see a dietitian
1. I already know what to do, its just a matter of doing it
2. Eating right is basically common sense
3. I weigh the same as the weight on my driver’s license
4. It’s not like I have a big problem…..
5. I am just a bit overweight
6. I only have slightly high blood pressure
7. I only have a mild case of diabetes
8. My high cholesterol runs in my family
9. I don’t have time
10. I can’t afford it
Top 10 reasons to make an appointment with Amy or come to a class today
1.You want to learn how to eat smarter- have a professional help sort out any confusion, give you tools to plan good tasting, nutritious and budget friendly meals to maximize your health.
2.You have weight issues- I can help you attain weight loss or gain and advise on resources and eating plans.
3.You have heart related issues, blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides or strong family history of heart disease. I can show you how to eat defensively for these conditions.
4.You want to learn how to eat to maximize energy level or athletic performance
5.You are pregnant or breast feeding. There are many changes in nutrition goals during these times and eating right can ensure an adequate, safe supply of nutrients for a growing baby and to provide the right nutrients to ensure an adequate milk supply.
6.You have digestive problems. Diet changes can help treat many concerns including heart burn and bowel problems.
7.You have a teen who is not eating well (skipping meals, trying to diet, eating “wrong foods” or not eating enough for athletics) and would benefit from hearing the basics from someone other than “Mom”
8.You want some fresh ideas and new tools for motivating you to eat well. You are interested in high quality, free internet resources to monitor your diet and exercise goals.
9.You have tried diet and exercise, but have not gotten the results you were looking for (weight, health, and energy) and are frustrated. Let me help fine tune your eating plan to help you meet your goals or sign up for a the Getting Results Workshop.
10. You are battling cancer or want to learn about eating to prevent cancer.
